In central Ontario, eight species of parasitoids and a Periclistus inquiline are associated with this gall. |
A reproductive female inquiline gains access to a host nest and usually kills the resident queen. |
Queens of socially parasitic inquiline ants reproduce by laying eggs in the colonies of other species. |
The colonies of Bombus illustrate the rise of the inquiline habit. |
Consequently, there is no need to invoke allopatric conditions to explain the patterns of variation seen in both the gall inducer and its inquiline beetle. |
Several species of warm water hydrozoan cnidarians inhabit body folds of bivalve molluscs as inquiline symbiotes. |
